Mossberg 464 SPX

11/5/2012

Mossberg released its original model 464 lever-action rifle in early 2008, which—not coincidentally—wasn’t long after Winchester announced that it would no longer be manufacturing Model 94s in the U.S. The original 464 has a fair bit in common with the Model 94s, but the SPX is a different beast entirely—it's not a cowboy gun, and it's probably not for everyone.

The SPX is a lever-action gun that could either be taken into the field or pressed into service in a home-defense or disaster situation. It comes with a number of tactical amenities: a shorter barrel, an optional flash hider, a threaded barrel for sound suppressors, fiber-optic sights and a tri-rail fore-end.

The new look and feel may not appeal to everyone, but the 464 SPX is designed for a market that's gone increasingly tactical—and it comes with the exceptional reliability you'd expect from a Mossberg.

Technical Specifications:

Caliber: .30-.30 Win.
Barrel Length: 16¼"
Trigger: 7 lbs., 2 oz.
Sights: Adjustable fiber optic
Stock: Six-position adjustable synthetic stock
Overall Length: 33½” with stock collapsed; 37½" extended
Weight: 7 lbs.
Metal Finish: Matte blue
Capacity: 5+1
MSRP: $535

    I just bought mine, and after my 10 day waiting period here in the Peoples Republic of California, I will be happy to give a range report

    To Each his Own. I own a Marlin 30-30 and I would be proud to add this to my collection if it is ever in Stock..

    Actually I have handled one. I know the weapon looks weird, but the adjustable stock is great. I want one since I can adjust it to full length for myself and then back down for my kids to shoot it. Also the fiber optic sights are nice as well.

    Rhis would be a good hog gun as it is set up for lights and or red/green dot. Also, it would be a good truck gun as it will easily fit under the back seat of my truck out of sight. I'm not a collrctor so I don't buy guns for their looks. I buy guns for tehir function and this will get the jib done!

    that is horrible, what is it for? it looks ashamed of itself.

    I have a model 94, first gun I ever bought. Though I have handled this Mossberg as well. I first thought it was just trying to fit in with the tacticool guns, but it does handle well and the fiber optic sights really pop. Though it would be nice to see it in .357, .44 mag, etc. like some other lever action carbines.

    Lever actions are great. Its the first type of assult rifle. My 30-30 marlin is my best friend in the woods, in the open, and last but not least the house. anyone who says otherwise has more then likley not tested the leaver action 30-30 or they talk out their fourth point of contact. I think this would be a great addition to my collection.

    i could see it hog hunting

    Pretty cool .. Could use one.....

  • JL Harbison

    It looks like a mashup,a hybrid.part cowboy gun part military.I have mossbergs but this isn't one for me.

    Can't really appreciate the 30-30 unless you hunt in brush country. Very versatile round and gun there.

  • John

    I agree it's not as attractive as a regular 30/30, but it's not suppose to be. It's a tactical weapon first. When you have options like flash/noise suppression, collapsible stock You're not talking about a show gun. I do agree they need to make it available in different calibers to match up with carry guns. Personally I wouldn't want a lever action for a tactical weapon unless it was just a back up at home. Easier to stay on target with an auto-loader, and not as hard to shoot when in a prone position. Don't want to give your position away with unnecessary movement.

    Make it in .357 then you might have a chance in selling this.

  • ElectricJohn

    11/7/2012 6:18:59 PM

    Ought to be one under everyones Christmas Tree. This tool is handy and tough. Surely other calibers will be available soon. The muzzle brake/flash hider may have to come off.

  • craig

    11/7/2012 4:51:56 PM

    I wish they would make something like this in .357. wanting to simplify ammo issues and can't find that combo by a mfg. that i like and trust.

  • Phil

    bOOlit don't care how ugly the gun is! 30-30 is too much gun for home defense, unless you don't like your neighbors. The Marlin's in 38 & 44 would be a much better choice.

  • Brian

    11/7/2012 5:42:09 PM

    Seems the rail is a little too far back on the rifle If you're going to shorten the barrel in the tube and the capacity you should have some handgun calibers to. have to admit I like my old western style better

  • Tony Waits

    11/7/2012 4:27:24 PM

    Sure is ugly Why not a lever action shot gun instead ?

  • Gordon

    11/7/2012 4:14:38 PM

    A 30-30 for home defense? I hope you have thick walls! As many others have said, it needs to be offered in pistol calibers to up the capacity. Beauty, or the lack of is in the eye of the beholder but that butt stock is butt ugly.

  • Alexander

    11/7/2012 4:46:22 PM

    Im a fan of mossberg, if They could do this Exact thing in 460 or 500 mag for a reasonable price I will certainly buy atleast one and be a very pleased customer.

  • Mike

    11/7/2012 3:22:01 PM

    Given Obama's re-election and another assault weapons ban looming, this would be a great gun in pistol caliber, maybe .357, 44 mag. 45 lc, or even 9mm, 357sig, 40 S*W or 45 ACP

  • hyde

    11/7/2012 3:17:56 PM

    looks like a futuristic version of my model 94. i like it.

  • Earl

    11/7/2012 4:17:15 PM

    I want one but all online sites I have gone to are out of stock.

  • Ron

    11/7/2012 4:09:49 PM

    One of the ugliest and most unnecessary guns I have ever seen.

  • Steve Woodhouse

    11/7/2012 4:09:09 PM

    Looks like weapon that's not sure what it should be....

  • Mark

    11/7/2012 3:06:02 PM

    Looks like it would be a great "movie gun".

  • griffinal

    11/7/2012 4:00:35 PM

    To the uninformed fellow above. Winchester quit making the 94 because it was not profitable. The true side eject Marlin 336 was beating them hands down in sales. Marlin still does a brisk business in 30-30 sales via the 336 line up of guns. Ammo sales for the 30-30 cartridge is still strong as well.

    Just when I figured the industry couldn't get any stupider, they pull this crap. Also I lost it when he said the already announced the "Zombie" version.

  • Bradley Russell

    11/7/2012 3:55:37 PM

    The new .308 rounds for tubulars would be cool.

  • Adam

    11/7/2012 2:53:42 PM

    I can see this being a big hit when/if semi-automatic rifles are banned. I wonder if Mossberg is looking toward that contingency with this rifle, or if it's just meant for the niche "I like weird guns" market.

  • Tim

    11/7/2012 3:53:39 PM

    First rifle I ever shot with, this looks sweet.

  • James

    11/7/2012 2:52:49 PM

    I really like it and after firing one with the new Hornady ammo and Leupold IER Scope with QD rings I want one. The 300-30 is still one of the most widely available rounds for the uinitiated

  • Doc

    11/7/2012 2:52:03 PM

    Have it in .444 cal. might spark my interest.

  • mater

    11/6/2012 8:08:46 PM

    it seems that jerry and jimmy dont know the joy of owning a good lever action to bad! let the caliber selection doors open and this could be awesome fun as wellas practicl

  • Scrambo

    11/6/2012 7:17:31 PM

    gimme one in .22 and then we can talk about it...no thanks on the .30-.30

  • Jerry

    11/6/2012 7:13:57 AM

    I'm not sure if I want to say it's ugly or just stupid. I think both! What a joke.

  • jimmyjet

    11/5/2012 11:37:50 PM

    Why do you suppose Winchester stopped making the 94? BECAUSE NO ONE WANTED A .30-30, MUCH LESS A LEVER ACTION. You poor dopes need professional help.

  • John

    11/5/2012 11:28:10 PM

    I agree with Joe, bring on the big bore pistol calibers. It would nearly double the round capacity, and having a tactical carbine that's ammo compatible with a defensive revolver would be slick. Some folks reject pistol cartridge carbines for self defense, but they have plenty of power to get the job done at home defense distances and are fun to take to the range.

  • Bill Moose

    11/5/2012 9:19:13 PM

    Looks a little in the rough yet; kind of butt ugly, but functional. 357 anyone?

  • windbreaker

    11/5/2012 8:37:50 PM

    That thing is an abomination to those of us that appreciate the beauty of the old Winchesters and Marlins. No thanks.

  • Greg Stanley

    11/5/2012 7:50:29 PM

    Need 45. Long Colt as a choice.

  • larry

    11/5/2012 7:43:08 PM

    I agree with Joe. A 44 mag would fit nicely in my safe as I don't like a lot of different calibers.

  • Bandit

    11/5/2012 3:56:41 PM

    Very interesting concept wouldn't mind having 1 in the safe

  • Joe Godinho

    11/5/2012 3:28:43 PM

    They need to add more calibers like the 44 magnum or 357 magnum then I would buy one.

  • George

    11/5/2012 1:50:00 PM

    Wow!

  • Steven Flowers

    11/5/2012 2:35:26 PM

    I truly wish I could have this rifle. I have a Marlin 30-30 this would truly be a great piece for home defense.
